Woohoo, happy VD!

We still start every Valentine's Day morning with the greeting of 'ooh it itches... ooh it burns' from some promo ad The End did years ago for something or another on V Day.

The weekend was a lively combo of backed-up plumbing repairs in the kitchen & a slow drain in the bathroom sink, downing my mom's homemade chicken enchiladas, going to see a movie while Grandma & Kieran got to play, too much cake, a lovely tea, and teaching Kieran the alphabet in French.

'payhouse diznee DOTCOM please? more numbers please?'

That's Kieran's cue for me to get on with it, more later.

The most beautiful morning ever

So, after a few rounds of Disney games, I looked outside and it appeared that God was having one heck of a dandruff shake off His shoulders. Of course we scrambled upstairs & outside with Kieran happily shouting 'Snowing! snowing!' then looked ( confused once he was out there )

It was all too brief & he threw quite the snit at having to be hauled back inside to have his wet mittens and coat taken off. He stomped off into the living room as I took off my own coat & shoes.... and then returned to the kitchen with something I was supposed to reprimand him for getting but I couldn't find it in my heart to do so.

Normally this is in the center of a dresser in our bedroom, and Kieran has never attempted to get it before but has tried for a few other arrangements on the end of it. I've never talked about the significance of it, and he certainly had no way of knowing that my husband & I went to get our marriage license 5 years ago today.

Yes, I cried.
